Who can take part?

Children between 4 and 8 years old.

What does taking part involve?

You (the parent) will complete a consent form and demographic information before your child takes part in the study. This study involves completing a short game on a computer. During the game, your child will make decisions or watch decisions being made. We may ask your child to make guesses about what will happen in the game. Your child might have the opportunity to seek more information about what happened in the game.

Where is it?

The research will take place in the Lifespan Research Lab at the University of Stirling. There is free parking on campus for up to two hours. Participation in this study should take no more than 30 minutes.
